    Pat, could those blocks be rigged a la 'Stag's' running backstays? An arrangement I've not seen anywhere else, but confirmed by a contemporary painting? John

    Hello Luord, and a warm welcome to the forum from 'Down Under'. John

    Very interesting, Mark. John

    Patrick, could they have been set up like a Spanish burton, with the single 9" blocks acting as the running whip with a gun tackle attached to them? John

    Just catching up. That framing looks excellent. John

    Hello Steve, and a warm welcome to the forum from 'Down Under'. That sounds like a particularly interesting manuscript. I think Keith's idea of it going to the NRG is a good one, if you think that would be a good home for it. John

    Looks like you're nearly there, Chris. John

    A very nice fit, mate! John

    Reconnecting with people is a great thing to be doing, Keith, but from our point of view it's wonderful to see an update on your beautiful 'baby'. John

    Not an expert in the period, but all the photographs I have seen of surviving sailing era warships show the planking flush with the edge of the ports. John

    Chris, can't help you with turnbuckles, but this photo shows pretty clearly where the bottlescrews are located (it is the antipodes after all). All the photos show just one funnel stay on each side. John
  24. Jim Lad
    They look nice. make sure they go on the correct sides! John

    Hello Gary, and a warm welcome to the forum from 'down under'. Sounds like a wonderful project to be involved in. John

About the NRG

If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.

The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.

The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
